certain sites I visit seem bloody bugged, they sometimes either dont load or take a lot of time to load...

is there a way to cache them so that everything will load faster, and how?

Things are cached by default and there is a header in most pages telling your browser what to do. The site can tell you browser not to cache or it can set a time you can cache it for.

So if there is a time and it is still valid it will not try until that expires so the built in cache should work. If the time is expired the page may allow the browser to just use a special validate option instead of reloading the whole page. If the site is down though it can't validate and will attempt to reload it and fail anyway.

The only way you get around this is to use a proxy sever set to override the expire fields. This can cause massive issues for some pages. You can many times force the proxy to reload a page by holding shift as you...

Pretty much the web site is assumed to control your ability to cache stuff. You have to work at it to bypass that.
